The Agriculture, Nutrition, Health, and the Environment in Africa conference is a collaboration between Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, the Harvard Kennedy School Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs, Harvard University Center for African Studies, and Africa Academy for Public Health. It will be held in Boston and Cambridge, Massachusetts on Monday and Tuesday, November 6-7, 2017.

The aim of this workshop is to explore the role of science and technology in adapting the global cocoa and chocolate industry to climate change. More specifically, the workshop will develop a roadmap on how to leverage the power of institutions of higher learning to respond to the sustainability challenges facing the industry. The US$95 billion is used as a source of inspirational models on how to respond to sustainability challenges facing other major global agricultural commodities.

The goal of this brainstorming session is to discuss the challenge of financing agricultural institutions and related projects. By bringing together a group of experts in the fields of finance, consulting, academia, and nonprofit organizations, we will explore the various avenues available for supporting such capacity-building institutions.

The lecture explores the role of universities in Africa's development. It seeks to explore new avenues for promoting Africa-U.S. university cooperation, especially in fields related to science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.
